We Must Tackle Climate Change
#1
Quote:(CNN) Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth's atmosphere.

Are you freakin' kidding me?!  Are they really putting out an article like this NOW, after they've been doing this for decades already?  Do they think we've been dumbed down enough to the point that we can't see and believe with our own eyes what has been taking place in our skies?
I mean...   minusculewtf 


Quote:The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.

The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth's lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns.

Despite the technology being undeveloped and with no existing aircraft suitable for adaptation, the researchers say that "developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive."

They estimate the total cost of launching a hypothetical system in 15 years' time at around $3.5 billion, with running costs of $2.25 billion a year over a 15-year period.

The report does, however, acknowledge that the technique is purely hypothetical.
"Purely hypothetical"?   tinybighuh   There they go again insulting our intelligence!   minusculeredtantrum 
Maybe they are admitting to this now to cover their tracks so they can get the future money it will take to fund the "program", being as President Trump is stopping human/child/drug trafficking, where I'd say a lot of the money came from previously.

Quote:"We make no judgment about the desirability of SAI," the report states. "We simply show that a hypothetical deployment program commencing 15 years hence, while both highly uncertain and ambitious, would indeed be technically possible from an engineering perspective. It would also be remarkably inexpensive."

The researchers also acknowledge potential risks: coordination between multiple countries in both hemispheres would be required, and stratospheric aerosol injection techniques could jeopardize crop yields, lead to droughts or cause extreme weather.

The proposals also don't address the issue of rising greenhouse gas emissions, which are a leading cause of global warming.

And there's that "global warming" they like to throw out, meanwhile northern states in the U.S. are experiencing the coldest November on record.


Quote:And despite the conviction of the report's authors, other experts were skeptical.

"From the point of view of climate economics, solar radiation management is still a much worse solution than greenhouse gas emissions: more costly and much more risky over the long run," said Philippe Thalmann of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, an expert in the economics of climate change.

David Archer of the Department of Geophysical Science at the University of Chicago said, "The problem with engineering climate in this way is that it's only a temporary Band-Aid covering a problem that will persist essentially forever, actually hundreds of thousands of years for fossil fuel CO2 to finally go away naturally.

"It will be tempting to continue to procrastinate on cleaning up our energy system, but we'd be leaving the planet on a form of life-support. If a future generation failed to pay their climate bill they would get all of our warming all at once."

Pay their "climate bill"?  It appears this is directed toward President Trump for ending our part in the program.  They're just trying to scare people so they'll turn over money for the deep state to use, all the while pretending that it's helping to keep our globe from burning up. 

Are you people awake yet?!
